An English military authority, Sir Andrew
Clark, formerly Inspector General of Forti-
fications, has suggested novel plan of coast
defense, which he thinks will be very mex
pensiye and very effective. With an Amer
lean officer. Lieutenant Maxim, he has been
working out a plan Of coast defense, which
Is novel and ingenious. Sir Andrew calls it
his disappearing gun SYSTEM" from the
peculiar manner in which all guns, even the
heaviest are to be operated. The gun occu-
pies hole in the ground. When in action
1t is raised by a sort of hydraulic elevator
and after firing sinks into the pit again to be
reloaded. Thus it is exposed for only few
seconds. When in the pit it can only be hit
by vertical or plunging fire, and the like
lihood of such shots striking their mark is
said to be infinitely small. Covered ways
shelter the men who load the gun so that the
enemy has practically nothing to aim at. A
gun operated in this fashion commands
much wider area than when mounted in
fort. By means of electricity the gun can
be raised, lowered, trained and discharged
by one man in position of safety hundred
yards or Ieven mile away. This has been
actually accomplished, and the inventors are
now at work perfecting apparatus for load
ing the gun by electricity also, so that men
may be entirely away from it during action.
The difference between an ingenious machine
and the practical application of it is often
very great. But If the disappearing gun can
be perfected and successfully operated, the
time of expensive coast defences is gone by.
A few heavy guns planted in some of the
hollows along the Maine coast, for instance,
would be of more use than all the expensive
ramparts of Preble, Popham or Knox.

The attitudes of some of the Democratic
papers towards Mr. Looney's ten-hour bill
are ridiculous. The New Age slurs at it as
anything but labor bill, although the Age
well knows that it is much more favorable to
the laboring mans interests than the Nc
Gillicuddy bill of two years ago. This is
nearly as humorous as the declaration of the
Labor Advocate of Lewiston, masked
Democratic battery, which says this week
that the Looney bill is defective because it
leaves the appointment Of the labor commits
sioner to the Governor; whereas he should
be selected by the Knights of Labor, who
would thus become department of govern
ment co-equal with the executive, legislative
and judicial branches. The real trouble of
the Democratic iorgans is not with the bill,
but with Mr. Looney himself that he is
Republican instead of Democrat.

The items in the bill of the Ayelings
against which the Socialists kicked. comprise
such matters as $50 for cigars for himself
and cigarettes for Mrs. Aveling, 500 for
theatre tickets, $25 for corsage bouquets, and
S42 for wine. No wonder the impecunious
common socialists considered this little

additional Inconvenience on parties

under the existing system to attend
before a referee, 1t could cost them
but little moro to attend tho hearing
before the Judge.
But the real merit of the measure
which wc propose is not Disclosed
until we consider how greatly It would
facilitate tho administration of Justice.
The incalculable superiority Of oral
over written testimony would be thus
made available in all cases. When
the Judge who tries tho cause secs and
hears tho witnesses, tho danger of
falsehood coming off triumphant has
boen reduced to the minimum. lie
may judge whether the witness is
honest or dishonest, whether friendly,
hostile or indifferent to tho party
calling him. Ho may see whether he
answers directly or evasively. He
may notc contumacious silence, con-
tradictions and explanations, intelli-
gence, or the want of intelligence.
lie may note, too, the part played by
counsel, "learncd and adroit in all
those resources of language by which
the truth may be skillfully concealed
or falsehood artfully suggested" In
short, ho has the advantage. of all tho
reliable securities for the trustworthi-
ness Of testimony which are entirely

But there are a number Of other
incidental reforms that would como
with tho change, that we can only
refer't to just nowr The "taxed costs
reference" which seem to have become
such Oil abomination of late, would of
course be swept away. Thore would

81 Colds Monthly Tobacco Report.
QUOTATIONS:

On account of cool and drying weather dur
ing the greater part of the past month but
little could be done in the way of preparing
the crop for market, hence receipts were com
paratively light, though light season occur
ing the latter part started them on the in
crease again. The offerings, although having
shown an increased improvement In quality,
much the larger portion of them continued TO
be made up of very common and nondescript
sorts. The market showed occasional irregu-
larities, but in the main was very firm with
an upward turn on Tugs, common and
medium leaf until about the close of the
month, when there seemed TO be less ANNA
ton and slight easing off in prices all
around. Unlike last year at this time hear
much complaint of the backwardness and
scarcity of plants in some sections, which no
doubt there is some room for, yet am OF the
opinion that with seasonable weather from
now on there will be sufficiency of them to
set the crop, though q. portion of it may pos
sibly be little late. 1t Is useless to attempt o
prediction as 10 the size OF the next CROP as 1t
would be altogether guess work, for no one
can even approximate correct idea until the
time :or planting has passed, though with
many the opinion prevails that the planting
will be great deal less than last year.
